What Does Your Procrastination Say?

Procrastination...we all procrastinate! Most of us beat ourselves up for it too. I’ve been doing this the past few days; I tend to feel like there is so much more I could be getting done. Have you ever done this to yourself? Have you ever thought if I only I didn’t procrastinate I’d be richer, smarter, thinner, funnier, or better in some way. Whenever I’m procrastinating David Bowie’s song “Under Pressure” starts playing in my head, it goes something like this, "Procrastination, coming down on me, crashing over me. Dee-dum, dooby-do bada, living on the streets.” Yeah, I don’t ever remember the actual words, but since we’re talking procrastination these work!
  

Back to procrastinating…perhaps you’ve planned to complete a certain task. Maybe it’s to clean out the closet or set-up a Word Press blog. You go to your computer and get online. You have every intention of creating your blog, yet you somehow get distracted by Facebook or Twitter. Before you know it 40 minutes have passed and still no blog. Though you have managed to thank everyone for the nice comments they made about your new profile picture. In these moments I find myself grumbling and telling myself to get started already!

I decided to try something different. I asked myself why I procrastinate. Try it, simply ask yourself, "Why do I procrastinate?" There’s a reason and it’s not because you’re lazy or you love how good it makes you feel to put things off one more time. I discovered I’m prone to procrastinate on projects that could cause people to take notice of me, what if people don’t like what I have to say or what if they do? What if I’m ridiculed or what if I succeed at it? Success is super scary; to me it represents new places, experiences, and maybe growth.  Ask yourself why you procrastinate, what are you protecting yourself from? It might be something totally unexpected.

I’ve been interviewing several people for my upcoming blog series ‘Interviews with Awesomeness.’ This series will be focusing on EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), health, and creating more self-love, confidence & happiness in our lives. I’ve been a bit lax in setting a specific start date. With some self-questioning, tapping guidance from Carol Look, and a bit of love I have picked a date!! My ‘Unlocking Your Awesome Self & Attracting What You Want’ series will start next week on Tuesday July 30, 2013. My first interview is with the lovely Erica House a vegetarian, personal trainer, writer, marathon runner, and she also has a Master’s in Psychology. Check out Erica’s website here, and be prepared for some awesome tips and sharing going on next week!

In case you were wondering about Carol Look and tapping, I will now fill you in. Carol Look is an EFT Master and has a PhD in Clinical Hypnotherapy; a true Emotional Freedom Technique guru! I found an excellent EFT script she has on procrastination.  I’ve used it a couple of times, it helps me become motivated to get things done.  Try Carol’s helpful YouTube on ‘Eliminating Procrastination with EFT.’

Letting Go of Resistance

Not too long ago I wrote a blog about how scary it is to take care of ourselves and love ourselves. When we are able to love ourselves right where we’re at amazing and truly beautiful things start to happen. We draw in more of the ‘good stuff’ like happy clients/customers, laughing & loving friends and relationships, and more abundance. Life is better when we feel better and realize our own awesomeness.

I shied away from loving myself for many years; a part of me didn’t think I was truly lovable. An even bigger part was afraid of what would happen when I loved me…What woul happen? How much would I change and grow? Growth can be a really scary thing, but growing or shifting is a part of life…a really awesome part when we allow it.

When we relax our bodies, allowing automatically occurs.

I have created an EFT script to help you feel better about growth. It’s designed to help you let go of any resistance you may have.  You will start by saying the set-up statements “Even though…” while tapping the Karate Chop point, then tap through the other points while saying the rest of the script.

Karate Chop: Even though I still have a great deal of resistance, I choose to love and accept myself anyway. Even though I have a lot of insecure & resistant thoughts, I choose to deeply & completely love and accept myself and these thoughts too. Even though I feel a great deal of resistance where growth & money is involved, I choose to love and accept myself.

I am willing to shift, I am willing to start to let go of this resistance.

I choose to love & accept myself and my resistance.

There are parts of me that are afraid to shift.

Those parts of me that say bad things to me

Those parts of me that doubt my ability

I’m choosing to love those parts.

I’m going to love those parts right now.

I’m going to open these parts of me up & fill them with love & beautiful sunshine.

I choose to love all parts of me.

I choose to be willing to grow & to shift.

I am willing to release my tremendous need to resist.

I choose to start releasing that need to feel guilty

I choose to start releasing the need to put myself down.

I choose to start releasing all these fear based thoughts

I choose to release these thoughts that tell me that I can’t have all these things

That I can’t be all these things

I am willing to release my need to resist.

I am willing to release the pattern at my core level that is creating the resistance.

This pattern keeps me in the same place.

That little girl/boy that’s scared, I choose to love her/him now.

I’m going to wrap my arms around her/him, I’m going to be like a mama bear.

I’m going to take care of her and love her now.

I choose to love this little child in a way that I don’t think she ever felt love before.

I’m going to look at her and remember that I’m an adult and I’m strong.

I’m smart & Brave.

I’m going to teach this little girl to be strong, smart and brave too.

That’s all she needs!

I’m going to tell her how much value she has, and how smart & capable she is

And how much she can give and share with the world.

It’s okay to love all of me.

It’s safe to love me.

It’s safe to start to let go of some of this resistance.

I’m going to release some of my resistance with love.

Going to let it go, I release it and let it go.

Releasing my resistance with love and letting it go.

It’s okay to let this go now.

What if I no longer resisted?

I don’t know what that would be like,

I’ve resisted most of my life.

I’ve been scared my entire life.

What if I wasn’t scared?

What if I didn’t resist, how would things be different?

What if I no longer needed to be scared?

What if I no longer needed to resist life?

What if I’m opening up to life right now?

What if I allow the Universe/God to lead me?

What if I trust in the Universe?

What if I trust in myself?

I am shifting now.

I am shifting into a state of allowing.

I choose to allow the good in.

I choose to allow life to flow through me.

I ask the Universe to co-create with me now.

I trust myself, I trust the world.

It is safe to trust me.

It is safe to trust the universe.

All is well, I am peaceful & safe.

Peace & love surround me and keep me safe.

Namaste~

Wanting More Money

Why do you want more money?

Money is a fantastic tool, but before you acquire, have, and spend it you need to get clear on why you want it and what you plan to do with it. I often ask myself what my money goals are, how to make more money, how to manage money, and what will I do with more money?

This has been the hardest thing for me, I know I want more money and at times I think I know why I want it – bills, charity, new car, cute tops, etc. Then I think, “Cute tops? This is why you want money?” I have cute tops already, there has to be more to it than that. I sat down with my trusty notebook and pen and wrote down all the reasons I want more money. This is what I came up with:

1.   Ability to pay my bills on time every month.

2.   Freedom to travel to far off places or simply to California to give my friend Sara a hug!

3.   Help my loved ones when they need an extra hand.

4.   Give more to the environmental & animal rights organizations I love- Help our planet!

5.   Grow my EFT business.

I took a deep breath after I wrote this list. I was glad to realize that I don’t want more money simply for cute tops! I mean cute tops are great, but there is so much more to living than looking/dressing good. I have a mission, to help women & men who are ready to expand, while they learn to like & love the amazing person they truly are. That’s what Emotional Freedom Technique has done for me. I’d love it if it could do that for every other person I meet too!

When you have money or you’re wanting money it can be tricky figuring out how to get it and what to do when you’ve got it. There are plenty of money guru’s out there that can help get you back on track, saving more, and having more money. I’ve been watching a whole lot of Marie Forleo vids lately, she has amazing tips on what to do with your money.

I have also been reading Suze Orman’s book Woman & Money for the 3^rd time and listening to some of her CD’s. I have to tell you Suze scares the crap out of me, but she makes so much sense. She’s extremely intense and gets right to the point. There is also a great website for women DailyWorth.com. You can sign up for free tips and their advice is a bit gentler than Suze’s.

The main thing is to get clear on your money situation and your money goals. Once you have done that you will have some clarity on what to do next.

Every Great Journey Begins With the Very First Step

My book, Fall HeadOver EFT For Her: Men Meet & Date the Woman of Your Dreams with EmotionalFreedom Technique is finally on Amazon! After all the editing, formatting, and EBook cover making…it’s online!! This is a really proud moment for me; it’s also a bit dreamlike.

I began writing FallHead Over EFT For Her several years ago. It all started when one of my dear guy friends was having trouble with his love life. I gave him some tips that really helped him out. I’ve seen so many of my male, friends, clients, and co-workers struggle to find a wonderful woman that suits them. Sometimes they’re lacking confidence, dating skills, or they’re simply not going to places they have the potential of meeting her.

I thought if only they had a guide that would help them navigate the dating sphere and better understand and interact with women. Thus began the making, or I should say writing of Fall Head Over EFT For Her. This book has transformed and turned into something unique and extremely valuable, especially since integrating Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

EFT has changed the way I think, feel, and live. Since starting my EFT coaching I’ve been able to help myself and others open up to love again. Emotional Freedom Technique has added so much to my life, my profession, and this book. 

Go to Amazon and get a copy of Fall Head Over EFT For Her: Men Meet & Date the Woman of YourDreams with Emotional Freedom Technique today! If not for yourself, for any man in your life you love (friend, brother, cousin, son, etc.) who very much wants to meet and date his dream girl.

Please share this blog with friends and family and visit my YouTube channel for helpful EFT videos.

Becoming Something More

“A vision is not just a picture of what could be, it’s an appeal to our better selves…to become something more.”

This quote always makes me stop for a moment. I get quiet and listen to my breath. Only for a moment though, then I think,  “Become something more…what is it I want to become?” It’s more a question of what I want to accomplish and who I can help. I’ve finally learned how to start helping and loving me. I want to pass that on to others in any way I can. So I’ve been writing, tweeting, blogging, youtubing, and writing some more. Earlier today I hit a wall, or at least that’s how it felt. I was thinking, “What am I doing?” I work a part-time job, substitute teach, and write…what am I doing?! Is any of what I’m saying reaching anyone, is it accomplishing anything?

I often doubt myself, like so many others, I think what can I possibly share or give to another? I got it late, late Friday night or I guess Saturday morning around 2 am it hit me…Love! That’s what I can give to others, through a hug, smile, an email, or a YouTube video. I’ve got something to give. It’s not always easy to dole out, what if it’s not well received or even seen at all? Well, I guess that’s a chance I’m willing to take…I’ve come this far.

When I have these moments where I think it’s time to let it all go. Stop writing, videoing and emailing I get a message. This past Saturday it came in the form of a new subscriber to my YouTube channel and a request for another EFT script. I felt like God was saying, “See, Anna, someone is listening. Don’t quit, you’ve got things to do.” That I do, right now one of those things is sleeping, second thing finally getting the cover for my book finished. I guess I have the answer to my question.  What I am doing is creating and sending a little love out to the world.

Get What You Want Showing Up With Gratitude

Get What you Really Want

1^st Look around and find the things in your life that you really enjoy & be grateful for this! Practice an attitude of gratitude and thankfulness. To live in a state of gratitude and appreciation where you let what you enjoy fill your thoughts & surround you. It’s all about happiness and joy. Don’t force yourself to like something, find what you actually enjoy and focus on it all the time.

2^nd Put yourself in the state of feeling what you want already exists. Visualize what it is that you want like it’s already happened. This completely shifts your energy. You’ll start to slowly see what you want begin to manifest. EFT and visualization completely shifts your energy. You start to see what you want showing up more and more!

You can say the gratitude chant out loud while tapping the meridian points. The following video guides you through using EFT:

Just For Today Gratitude Chant

Just for today I’m going to be grateful for what I have.

I’m going to be grateful for myself.

I’m going to look for the beauty within me.

I’m going to look for the beauty around me.

I’m going to appreciate the amazing people in my life.

I’m going to be positive and self-assured.

Just for today I’m going to love myself.

For today I am going to be calm and feel confident no matter what happens.

It’s safe to do this.

Today is all I have.

I am grateful for today.

I am grateful for my amazing body.

I am grateful for love.

I am loved.

An Attitude of Gratitude

John Demartini is the “King of Gratitude,” that’s what I like to call him. He is a world-renown motivational speaker and owes much of his success to constant thankfulness. John encourages everyone to make lists of the things they’re grateful for. This doesn’t have to be a major list.

When finding things to be grateful for you will need to look at your life and see the things you enjoy. Learning to live in a state of gratitude is when you let what you enjoy fill your thoughts and surround you. It’s all about being happy. Don’t force yourself to appreciate something, simply direct your focus to what you do like and truly appreciate. This will amplify the love in your heart and attract more of what you want into your life.

It’s imperative that you put yourself in the state of feeling what you want already exists. Visualize the things you want, get to a state where you feel their presence. Act as if you already have it in your life. EFT and visualization will completely shift your energy, you’ll start to see what you want showing up more and more.

Enhance Your Life With More Money and EFT

There is nothing wrong with wanting more money, especially for what it can bring you and your family. There is a difference between loving and blessing money than being in a state of greed.  I am not talking about stock-piling money for the sake of having it, though truthfully I have no issues with someone who wishes to do this either. Money is simply a tool. How you use it is up to you. I look at money as a way to have more time with family; create college funds for my future children; and charities for endangered animals. Most of all I see money as a way to enhance my life and the lives of those around me.

It’s very easy to get caught up in negative thinking related to money. This is especially true for women. Women are taught to be good little girls and we typically carry this with us through adulthood. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a good person. Lots of good people have plenty of money. Lots of good people do not struggle to pay their bills and can afford to take a vacation. It’s okay to want more.

 

It’s okay if you want more than what you currently have. To have more money does not mean you’re evil or wrong. It doesn’t mean that you are greedy.  Forgive yourself for associating money with greed and bad feelings. Once you let go of your guilt related to money you automatically allow more money into your life. It’s a thought which creates a feeling. All of these thoughts and feelings lead to a lifetime of choices and habits that can easily keep you stuck and poor. You no longer have to be in this state.

 

If you haven’t read any of my previous blogs on EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) please check them out. For more guidance with EFT (tapping) visit my YouTube Channel. Tapping is a powerful tool that is transforming lives daily! Don’t miss the boat, give EFT a chance!

 

You can say this chant while lightly tapping your chest and sternum area (or all meridian points I’ve mentioned). You can also do this while looking at yourself in the mirror. Mirror work is quite powerful. Imagine what you could do if you combined mirror work and EFT?

I choose to be aware. I no longer wish to go without enough money.

I am becoming aware now. I am aware of my relationship with money.

I no longer wish to struggle to pay for anything.

I choose to know how much I am spending. I choose to balance what goes out and comes in.

I choose to only use credit cards only when I have enough to pay them off each month.

I choose to start a savings account and put at least $50 a month into it.

I choose to manage my money well from now on.

I choose to pay off my credit cards and student loans (or whatever you need to pay off).

I allow myself lattes and new clothes (or whatever you like to spend money on) when I have extra money to spend.

I choose to put most of my extra money into savings and investments.

I bless the money that goes out.

I bless the money that comes in.

I am aware now. I know how much money I have.

I am aware of love. Love is all there is.

I choose to love the money I have.

I choose to love the money that is coming to me.

I love money.

Money loves me.

It is safe to love me.

It is safe to love money.

I bless the money that goes out.

I bless the money that comes in.

 

You can repeat this chant whenever you need to shift your energy towards creating more money.
